This is a fundamental objective ofmuch scientific investigation. To achieve this goal,scientific visualization utilises aspects in the areas ofcomputergraphics, user-interface methodology, imageprocessing, system design, and signal processing.This volume is intended for readers new to the field and whorequire a quick and easy-to-read summary of what scientificvisualization is and what it can do. Written in a popularandjournalistic style with many illustrations it willenable readers to appreciate the benefits of scientificvisualization and how current tools can be exploited in manyapplication areas.
